[QUOTE="PBR549, post: 359845, member: 1991"] I appreciate all you guys giving so much credit to the abilities of the coaches to out scheme other coaches. The truth is that at this level all the coaches know what every other coach knows. The amount that a coaching staff can influence the outcome of a game is maybe 10 percent. So if you look at both coaching staffs with a 10 percent sphere of influence your talking maybe 2 games a year where the teams with equal talent levels are decided by coaching. We may even be a little better than the 10 percent due to our scheme that for the most part others only see once a year. Now, what if your playing a team who has a 10 percent talent advantage? The coaches influence probably drops in half. So now each staff has a maybe a 5 percent sphere of influence on a game. So if your staff gets all 10 percent of the coaching advantage it's good for maybe 1 game a year. If someone has a 20 percent talent advantage it doesn't matter if you have Vince Lombardi, Bear Bryant and Nick Saban on your staff you're going to get beat 99 out of 100 times. I've developed this opinion over a football coaching career that spanned over 30 years. It's not what Hollywood wants but its what I've observed. Of course that's not what I started out believing but experience is the best teacher. Coaches kill themselves weekly trying to make sure they gain every percentage point of what sphere of influence over the other staff almost 365 24/7 yet they can only get to that 10 percent! [/QUOTE]
